It's funny, cute: Siddhant on his viral comment in Ananya's 'Call Me Bae' | Bollywood

Ananya's first OTT show, which launched on Prime Video last month, featured a nod to the viral moment of a 2020 roundtable discussion involving the two actors, who have since been seen together in the films “Gehraiyaan” and “Kho Gaye Hum Kahan”.

Speaking to PTI on the sidelines of the IIFA Awards press conference, Siddhant said the reference to his comments in the show was “funny and sweet”.

“It's funny, it's cute. It's actually a very nice show. I'm glad they thought that line was important enough to use. And the show is doing really well. It's trending right now. So, all the best to the whole team,” he said.

During the 2020 roundtable interview, Ananya, the daughter of actor Chunky Panday, had equated success in the film industry with appearances on Karan Johar's celebrity talk show 'Koffee with Karan', and Siddhant had responded with a comment that instantly started trending on social media.

“The difference is: Jahaan Humare Sapne Poore Hote Hain, Wahi Inka Fight Shuru Hota Hai.”

In “Call Me Bae,” the viral comment was used by a security guard during a conversation with Ananya’s title character.

Directed by Collin D'Cunha and created by Ishita Moitra, the show tells the story of billionaire fashionista Bae, who struggles to navigate life after being disowned by her family. It is produced by Karan Johar's Dharmatic Entertainment.

Siddhant will co-host IIFA Rocks 2024 along with Abhishek Banerjee. The three-day awards gala will be held for the third consecutive year at Yas Island in Abu Dhabi and will be held from September 27-29.

His next film is 'Yudhra', directed by Ravi Udyawar of 'Mom' fame. The film is slated to release on September 20.
